While Vanity nervously rubbed her smooth hands on her thighs, she waited patiently for the doctor assigned to help her.
Soon, the designated doctor arrived to accompany Vanity in the room of the hospital. "How are you doing today, Ms. Jackson?" The doctor questioned as she scanned Vanity's file given to her by the nurse.
"I'm doing okay." Vanity vaguely responded.
"Just okay, for a mother to be?" The doctor showed much concern.
"Well, there's just a lot going on in my life right now. It's hard to be better than okay right now." Vanity further explained.
"I understand. I can suggest a parenting class for expectant mothers like you. It can help you in preparing for the baby and hopefully ease some of that stress."
"Ok, I'll have to try that out! Thank you for the suggestion."
"Of course! Moving forward, you are currently six weeks pregnant, and it seems that both you and the baby are in good health. I will prescribe prenatal vitamins for you to pick up from your nearby pharmacy, and I'd like to schedule a follow-up appointment with you in thirty days."
Saying her goodbyes, the doctor had placed her hand on the handle of the door about to walk out before Vanity spoke up.
"What if I'm not sure that I want to continue this pregnancy?" Vanity asked waiting for the doctor's answer.
"Then it would be best if you decided in the next few days." The doctor said before walking out.
Vanity walked out not too long after the doctor exited and started to make her way to the entrance of the hospital when she was stopped by Brenton.
"Wassup Vanity? What you doing-"
He paused his greeting to look down at what had caught his eye which was the booklet of information given to Vanity by the nurse.
"You're pregnant?" He asked grabbing the information filled booklet out of Vanity's right hand.
"That's not any of your business, Brenton."
Taking two steps forward to be directly in Vanity's face, Breton moved her long hair out of the way so that he could whisper in her ear his next words.
"It is my business if we just had sex not too long ago." He lowered his tone as the words spilled from his mouth.
Vanity's mind was instantly flooded with memories from that night, one of those memories being the "Plan B One-Step" that she took after they'd been intimate with one another.
"Nice try, but I definitely took care of that after our session." Vanity spoke with a smirk on her face.
She patted her manicured hand on his shoulder before walking away from him.
Vanity then stopped in her tracks and turned to face him again.
"Oh and another thing, don't tell Salem you saw me here. Please?" She gave him "puppy dog eyes" as people would call it with that same smirk on her face before finally leaving out the hospital.

Several hours later, Vanity was in uniform and sitting in one of the sections of "777" .
She needed a distraction from earlier today and what was a better distraction than making money?
Since she wasn't on schedule for tonight, Vanity couldn't dance on stage so she'd be solely working V.I.P for the night.
"Look who finally decided to show up." Vanity said sarcastically as India approached her.
"I've been calling you nonstop since last night, what's wrong?"
"I've been taking care of my mom, you know her heath isn't the best right now." India responded making Vanity nod.
"Why didn't you show up earlier to give the police information about Michelle's death." India asked the question that's been on her mind heavily.
"Because for one, I don't know anything about her death and second I had an appointment at the hospital earlier today."
India's mind flashed with memories from her conversation with Paris earlier today. She still didn't know what to do and that made her upset with herself.
How could she be contemplating betraying her best friend? Paris offered to pay her good money to get information from Vanity and she did desperately need the funds.
She knew that if she agreed to help Paris that she'd be stabbing her best friend in the back in two ways. One being that Paris is Vanity's ex fiancée and two being that Salem is Vanity's new boyfriend and both of their bosses.
"I can't believe Michelle is gone now. We weren't close but I feel bad for her, she was young and had a lot going for herself." India sadly spoke.
She had no idea that she was sitting next to Michelle's killer also known as her best friend.
And quite frankly, Vanity would like for it to stay that way. But, she knew one day it'll eventually become known to India and she'd have to deal with it.
